Need to win this considering we're away at Ipswich after that which I think we will be lucky to get anything from.

Not worried about Ipswich tbh, more so gillingham which is our hardest away game left imo

All these teams around us are probably fearing us tbh.

They are both on there more than on here now. I agree despite them trying to be diplomatic and nice they get nothing but the usual abuse and sarcasm from their fans. Why bother to carry on kissing their arses its pretty obvious the idiots on there cant hold a normal conversation and have so much bitterness towards us they are so far up their own arses its unbelievable
As many idiots on here as on there. At least with there can ask why they are so upset about what happened nearly 50 years ago. On here it has become a joke. Any old reason for a chance to have a go for no reason. Still read on here all the time but have about stopped posting. Can't be bothered with the bullshit anymore .

This one tricky as they have found Baka, Shipley & dare I say it Hiwula hard to handle previously - currently all three not in start xi.

I think probably one up top makes sense with our team make up still not a massive fan but if our midfield play very well it can look great...if not though forward is often left isolated feeding off scraps.

think I’d hook Max and play Allen just over Shipley ...rely on midfield quality on the ball to prevail though we do look a bit flyweight if a battle with team below.

marosi
Dabo
McCallum
Macfadzean
Rose
Hyam
Kelly
Walsh
Allen
O’Hare
Godden.

subs: Wilson, Pask, Giles, Westbrooke, Shipley, Biamou, Baka.

strong start xi with lots of options to change game off bench if things going wrong.

The weather has continued being 'wet' since Tuesday's game - the pitch might be a bit soft underfoot (at least it;s not Rochdale or Tranmere's)

Can only see a win for us 3-1.

Play at 80/ 90% and its still a draw will be secured.

But a win is what we need after the draw against Rotherham.

Definately will play the box. With Allen and ohare.

i dunno, Willis was good. Great pace dug us out the shit a few times. Can’t fault out back three recently though ! (McFadz in particular has really come into his own in recent weeks/months)
Willis' pace mainly dug him out of a problem he'd created himself. He's no where near good enough on the ball to work in our current system.

A draw would be sufficient to keep us in 2nd place. So anything but a defeat for me.

They are like Fleetwood in the way they are hard to break down. They don't let many goals in. They have the best defence in this division. But they can struggle against the top sides. We should have beat them at their place. But it doesn't mean too much.

They won't get many chances. But they could hit us on the break.

To me I hope we play the players with pace. Willis has done well but they seem to be lacking pace in their side. Maybe a sending off trying to stop our players running past them.

1-0 or 1-1. Won't be easy against a decent defence on a decent run.

But he is good enough to get to each loose ball first.

He might not get into our defence with the way we play. But he is still a good player at this level.

Yeah it's going to be another tough one. Sunderland are a good side, they have matched us and Rotherham point for point over the last 13 games.

For me it's too close to call and I'd be happy with a draw, it's another must not lose game.

Didn't say wasn't.
You didn't make him sound any good though. Not good enough for us and uses his pace to make up for his mistakes.

He is the main piece in the best defence in this division. Can't be doing that badly.

He's a decent player at this level but his positioning is also not good enough. Lucky for his he is quick
I think Godden will pull him all over the place Sunday he will leave gaps 100% Allen & O’Hare have to start the gaps will be there to be attacked with Willis’s lack of positional awareness.

didn't they bring a CB in during the window and it's since then had a great run of clean sheets?
